About this project
The objective of this project is to give to our readers the information, as full as possible, about M.S.Hrushevski, the information being easy accessible and gratis. We plan to publish his complete works, letters, documents concerning his scientific, public, and state-creating activities as well as scientific and popular publications helping to understand the significance of his personality; photo-gallery of portraits, autographs, and editions, M.Hrushevs’ki’s memorable places and monuments; a reference book containing names of persons, geographic names, editions, institutions etc. connected with M.Hrushevs’ki’s activities.
The collection of M.Hrushevs’ki’s works being now publishing in Lviv must become a foundation of this Project. In 2001–2012, only 12 volumes included in 50 planned ones have been published; that is why it is impossible to wait the completion of this edition before 2050. Not all readers of our site are so patient and able to expect up to the middle of the 21st century; so we are going to use all other accessible publications of M.Hrushevs’ki’s works, letters, and documents.
That is why the degree of editorial treatment of different texts in our site may be quite different. We tried, as far as possible, to publish them according to contemporary requirements for academic publications.
